Locking in the leading stars for years to come, Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana will appear in the next three "Avatar" films.
Planning big things for the sequels, director James Cameron spoke about the main characters Jake and Neytiri.
Pleased to have both on board, he shared, "Jake Sully is rare combination of passion, strength, street smarts and soul, which requires a lot from an actor. Sam brought to the role a combination of sensitivity, vulnerability and strength. Zo captured every aspect of the character I envisioned, bringing to Neytiri a mix of delicacy, fierceness and incredible physicality. I am beyond pleased they'll be returning with us to Pandora."
Though the first film was released back in 2009, the rest of the series will be shot back-to-back with the first one slated for a December 2016 release. The next two will be spaced out a year apart.

Jetting out of town after a dazzling night at the Golden Globe Awards, Zoe Saldana arrived at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Monday (January 13).
The "Avatar" star looked cute in a blue sweater, purple shawl, blue skinnies, and knee-high black boots as she made her way inside.
Having enjoyed her evening, the 35-year-old actress tweeted, "So much fun #GoldenGlobes! Congrats to all the nominees and winners. -ZS."
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Zoe just nabbed an exciting new gig as the title character in the upcoming four-hour miniseries, "Rosemary's Baby."

Zoe Saldana sauntered onto the Globes red carpet last night in a truly fug Prabal Gurung dress. Guiliana Rancic loved it and called Zoe a true “fashionista.” In response, Zoe simpered about how her “dearest friend” had designed the dress just for her. That’s sweet, but the dress is absolutely dreadful. I think this is one of the worst looks of the night.
I’m trying to wrap my mind around this horrific mess. Prabal Gurung has combined a bejewled black front with precious bodice ribbons and an asymmetrical white-and-pink skirt that descends into a Fredericks of Hollywood nightmare. Nothing about Zoe’s look works here. Not the severe hair and makeup, and certainly not the shoddy dress. The shoes are unremarkable, which is probably a blessing in disguise. Zoe thinks this is avant garde fashion, but it’s just a mess.
Paula Patton wore a white Stephane Rolland couture gown with the ruffle to end all ruffles. I suspect this dress would have made for a stunning silhouette, but no one can tell because of that damn distracting ruffle. At least Paula didn’t make the drastic mistake of accessorizing with Robin Thicke. Paula’s earrings and statement ring are supurb, but she went too heavy on the blush.
Uma Thurman stepped out in underwhelming black Atelier Versace. Are these separates? I don’t think so. The shiny black skirt is at odds with the severe halter top. Uma looks very uncomfortable in this dress. All that Botox doesn’t help matters. Uma’s not feeling it, and neither am I.
Heidi Klum kept the dream of being the worst dressed supermodel alive. Heidi wore Marchesa of course. The garish print is aiming for Asian-inspired flare but looks like a silkscreened mess. At first glance, Heidi doesn’t look like she’s begging for attention, but the skirt is pretty sheer from a side view. I also think she stole that necklace from Richie Sambora during the “Wanted: Dead or Alive” era.

This ought to be a fun post. As you know, Hollywood can’t resist putting their paws all over the classics to ruin remake them for a quick buck. Most of these remakes are not only unnecessary but fail to preserve the spirit of the original works. Plus it’s plain lazy for filmmakers who would rather rework someone else’s project than come up with a fresh story. The latest victim in this diabolical scheme is Rosemary’s Baby, which was last directed by Roman Polanski (before we all knew he was a predatory douche). NBC will air the remake as a 4-part miniseries.
This news is unwelcome on its face. Why would any network executive think this remake is a good idea? Advertisers are probably interested because people will tune in for the first part at least. Or will they? The Mia Farrow role has been cast, and Zoe Saldana has emerged as the victor. Oh boy. If Zoe thought she received more than enough criticism for playing Nina Simone, she’s not done yet. I’m guessing Zoe may go for the Mia haircut so she can claim once again to live the androgynous lifestyle. Here’s the scoop from Deadline:
Avatar and Star Trek star Zoe Saldana has been tapped as the lead in NBC’s four-hour miniseries Rosemary’s Baby, an adaptation of the 1967 best-selling suspense novel by Ira Levin. The mini centers on Rosemary (Saldana), a young wife and would-be mother who, with her husband, moves into a Paris apartment that has a darkly storied past. After finally getting pregnant, she becomes increasingly suspicious that both her husband and their mysterious neighbors have ulterior motives about the future of her child. The role was played by Mia Farrow in Roman Polanski’s 1968 feature adaptation. “Zoe has proven that she is one of our most gifted actresses, and we think she has the perfect combination of spirit and gravitas to take on the title role from Ira Levin’s infamous novel,” said NBC’s head of longform Quinn Taylor. “With Zoe leading the cast under the direction of Agnieszka Holland, this reimagined event miniseries is off to a great start.” Holland is directing the mini from a script by Scott Abbott. Production is set to begin shortly in Paris. ICM Partners-repped Saldana recently appeared in the Christian Bale drama Out Of The Furnace, and her upcoming projects include Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy and Blood Ties. Rosemary’s Baby is the first miniseries greenlighted by NBC as part of its renewed push in the longform arena. It was followed shortly by an order for The Bible sequel A.D.

You know, I think I’m actually going to change sides and declare myself as being on board with this casting news. I don’t say this because Zoe is such an amazing and “gifted” actress (because she’s not). I won’t even watch this remake because it sounds ridiculous. However, the press tour for this miniseries is going to be amazing. Zoe’s gonna bring her new rack and overly hostile shade in spades. And I can’t wait to hear what comes out of her mouth.
Here’s Zoe and husband Marco Perego spreading more of their awkward body language in LA a few weeks ago.

In the February issue of Lucky Magazine, Zoe Saldana wants us to know she’d like to get a boob job before she dies even though she doesn’t like fake things. She tells the mag,”My whole life I’ve been obsessed with breasts. I love them. I don’t like fake things, but I wouldn’t mind buying myself a pair before I die.When I hear men say, ‘I don?t want droopy breasts,’ I think, ‘I’m sorry, you’re not really a man.’ A man likes a woman as she is. You know when you meet a real man from the way he talks about a woman. You just go, ‘Wow, you’re a man’.” Living with her must be so confusing.
She goes on to say she can open her own jars. Like, really, stop trying to open that jar for her, asshole. “I like looking strong. I don’t need someone to open the door for me. I can open a jar! For some reason, dressing very delicately brings out a fragility that compels people to help you and, I don’t like it.”
I hate when people show me common courtesy too. It’s like, I can open my own damn door, jerk. What? You think you’re better than me because you know how to push a piece of glass? Whatever, man.

Zoe Saldana covers the January issue of Lucky magazine to promote her latest movie, Out of the Furnace, which did nothing at the box office a few weeks ago. Man. The film stars Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson, and Willem Dafoe … and nothing. I guess Zoe would be wise to keep filming those blockbusters she can’t stand. She told Lucky all about how she spent five hours per day in makeup for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy. She’s painted green for her role, and yet she complains about it. Which is strange. She knew her character was green from the beginning, right?
The last time we heard from Zoe, she dropped a bomb in Flaunt magazine about how she’s “a lady, not a giddy little girl.” Some of you thought Zoe was throwing some shade at ex-boyfriend Bradley Cooper for dating a now 21-year-old model. You may be correct. I’ve been thinking that Zoe is a little bit “off” ever since she married Italian artist Marcus Perego after only five months of dating. She was with her previous fianc for nine years, dated Bradley for less than a year, and then married Marcus when she barely knew him. Strange. Here are some excerpts from Lucky:
Perhaps about her new husband? “Class is not defined by money.”
On “real” men: “A man likes a woman as she is. You know when you meet a real man from the way he talks about a woman. You just go, ‘Wow, you?re a man.’ When I hear men say, ‘I don’t want droopy breasts,’ I think, ‘I’m sorry, you’re not really a man.”
She wants a boob job? “My whole life, I’ve been obsessed with breasts. I love them. I don’t like fake things, but I wouldn’t mind buying myself a pair before I die.”
Zoe is a “real” woman: “I don’t need someone to open the door for me. I can open a jar! I can give two sh-ts about what somebody thought I looked like. I like looking strong. I don?t need someone to open the door for me. I can open a jar! For some reason, dressing very delicately brings out a fragility that compels people to help you and, I don?t like it.”

Gah, she keeps talking about being able to open jars. That's a strange subject for her to continue discussing. Is that a thing -- not being able to open jars? They make those grippy things that make jar opening super easy. Or you can just do what I do: Try ... tap tap ... try ... say a few curse words ... hit with spoon ... try again. Eventually it works.
Don't even get me started on Zoe getting a boob job. Whatever I say on the topic will come out wrong.
Here's some photos of Zoe with Marco after a shopping trip at Barneys yesterday.

Zoe Saldana covers the January issue of Flare magazine to promote Out of the Furnace, which looked really good (great cast including Christian Bale and Woody Harrelson) but bombed at the box office. This photoshoot is basically “Zoe posing weirdly with various chairs.” She’s a beautiful girl, but the angular poses she chose for this shoot are a little awkward looking. Maybe the photographer wanted her to pose this way.
Before we get to the interview, I wanted to mention a discussion that Zoe did with Collider that’s been itching at me for a few weeks. Zoe went off on a rant about awful blockbuster movies are compared to indies. She said, “There’s a lot wrong with doing blockbusters. Let’s be real. And I?m a part of a lot of them, but these are stories that are great.” Zoe was attempting to talk up her roles in low-budget films that are “artistic” as opposed to “entertainment.” Still this is the same actress who starred in Avatar plus Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness, which fit the very definition of “blockbuster” and cumulatively earned over $3.6 billion. Zoe doesn’t mind taking blockbuster-sized paychecks, does she? She needs to sit down.
Zoe’s similarly full of herself in this interview with Flare. I appreciate her points about being a strong woman, but the way she says things rubs me the wrong way:
She’s a lady: “I?m a lady. My mother, my grandmother and my great-grandmother raised ladies. We don?t breed skanky, coquettish, giddy little girls. We breed women.”
She lost her dad at age 9: “My mom was sad a lot. Losing the love of your life when you’re young, and you have three freakin’ kids…At the end of the day, that warmth that fills your bed is not there.”
On girl power: “Women aren?t wimpy. They don’t complain all the time. They can open up jars! They can f—ing save the day! They can support their whole family. They can support their men. Half of my friends make more money than their male partners.”
Stop whining, ladies: “Women who are very whiny annoy the f—ing crap out of me. It?s impossible for my sisters and me to hold a conversation with a woman who is incompetent. It?s one thing to be uncertain, a little insecure and scared, and another thing to be lazy. I can?t deal with mediocrity and incompetence. And you see it in people?s eyes.”
Don’t take work home: “I?m an artist. I love going to work — researching and conceiving a character with my director is my favourite time — but as soon as I get home and open up that bottle of wine or sit down with my family, I?m not talking about work.”
Standing up for herself on set: “You’d see all the boys together, and they?re discussing the scene and what?s going to happen. You just go, ‘Yeah, but…’ and they say, ‘Oh, but we already discussed that.’” There are three possible reactions, she says: rolling your eyes, “because men think they know better”; laughing; or, she says, “sitting and watching while everybody feels uncomfortable around you, and feeling really good about yourself because you stood up for yourself, you mattered, you voiced your presence.” Saldana has no problem pulling a mentor or male authority aside, she says, laying out for me her usual plan of attack: Her “heart racing and sweating buckets,” she declares, without blinking, “I’m not happy.” And then she states her case: “I understand everything you?re saying, but these are the terms we agreed on, and that is why I got on a plane and came out here, and I decided to have your back, and now I don’t feel like you?re having my back. This character is invisible. She’s completely irrelevant, and she should be more.”
On criticism: “There’s nothing anybody can say or think about me that I will give a sh-t about. Honestly.”
Her Nina Simone movie still has no release date: “It?s very abstract. It was sort of like a love song to Nina. At the end of the day, no matter how the movie is received, I?m not going to regret anything.”
On New Year’s resolutions: “I stopped doing them It?s like heading to a party and telling your friends, ‘I?m not going to drink, you guys.’ Meanwhile, you?re the one who blacks out! Let?s be real. Oh god, it?s usually me.”
[From Flare]
On the point about women earning more than their men, I assume Zoe is referring to her own quickie marriage to artist Marco Perego. I think it’s great that Zoe earns more than her man, but she needs to realize that in a lot of professions, men still earn more than their female counterparts. That’s just a reality. It sucks.
Zoe’s remarks about not caring what other people say arrive after the journo mentioned criticisms of her Nina Simone role. I think Zoe does care because who wouldn’t? Especially when one is such a sensitive “artist.” Oh well. It will be interesting to see if the movie ever sees the light of day.
She has a point about New Year’s resolutions though. They never stick.

Gearing up for more promotional duties, Zoe Saldana stepped out in New York City on Thursday (December 5).
Despite the gloomy weather, the"Star Trek" beauty was all-smiles as she walked out of an building office carrying a cup of coffee.
Recently, Miss Saldana spoke to Flare magazine about standing her ground with directors when it comes to various roles. "I can't fake how I feel," Zoe stated. "If a director's trying to make me be something I'm not, I can try to get into it, but at the end of the day, it's your loss."
Meanwhile, the 35-year-old actress discussed how she learns from her past and stated, "You have to learn from your experiences. I've been in compromising circumstances."
" I wish I'd had the strength that I have now because I would have protected myself better. I would have stood up for myself better," she added.

Zoe Saldana covers the January issue of Modern Luxury’s Manhattan magazine to promote her new film, Out of the Furnace, which costars Christian Bale, Woody Harrelson, and Casey Affleck. Zoe plays Bale’s lover, and the movie is a gritty crime drama that (if the trailer is any indication) looks pretty damn compelling. The cast is just incredible, and the trailer is full of action, emotion, and intrigue. Woody plays a bad guy, which should be fun to watch. Zoe’s character looks like more than ths usual stock “girlfriend” too.
The magazine spread is rather beautiful in a bland way, but the interview is slightly more interesting. Zoe talks about how she refuses to play the part of a clichd Hollywood starlet. Do we buy what she’s selling here?
On gender injustice: “It’s very hard being a woman in a man’s world, and I recognised it was a man’s world even when I was a kid. It’s an inequality and injustice that drove me crazy, and which I always spoke out against – and I’ve always been outspoken. I love learning new skills, especially those you’re told girls aren’t good at – like parallel parking. Hey, I’m going to learn to ride a Ducati!”
She doesn’t “generic” or “sexy bombshell” characters:
“I’m known for being selective in parts I either pick or pursue, and what matters most is that they be good female roles where the character isn’t cardboard or objectified, and where there’s real substance. No generic girlfriend or wife, and no sexy bombshell. Enough of that already!”
The power of ballet: “Before ballet, I had trouble concentrating, and I wouldn?t even try to concentrate on things I wasn’t interested in. The barre, the piano, the breathing – they calmed and centred me, and allowed me to learn lessons physically, which is how I learn best.”
Her family’s work ethic: “My sisters and I weren’t raised to be princesses; we were taught to want love and to recognise love, but not to be tempted to sacrifice things you can provide for yourself for love. We were taught to work.”
[From Modern Luxury - Manhattan]
Zoe’s attitude towards her career may seem odd because her breakthrough role was in the super-major blockbuster (Avatar) to end all blockbusters. Yet she didn’t predictably head down the romantic comedy route. I can appreciate such an offbeat and unexpected career path.
Here’s the rest of the Manhattan photo shoot. I’ve also included some photos of Zoe attending a taping Extra! yesterday. Her little black dress looks fun and kicky from a distance, but it’s kind of a mess in close-up view.
